The glass mug pictured above dates from 1982 or 1983. I have one myself. I took it to the glass cutter and had my name engraved on the side. I used it from time to time while working at the diving bell. However I also purchased a small enamel mug at the general store and used it more often as it was light weight and could hold the contents of a small Coke cup!

Somebody is cleaning house! A few new posts on eBay of SDC and Dogpatch stuff.

This one seems really interesting:
Deed to the City
Might be worth it just for the menu. Do you think they'd let me get a portion of the park if I brought in the "deed"?!
Brochures
Pathfinders
Dogpatch

On eBay right now somebody is selling some 70s SDC postcards. The second is for the "Lightnin' Chair", which I've never seen before. Anybody know what it is?

The only Lightnin' Chair I remember was a prop electric chair used in the Courthouse Theater drama of Melvin the Chicken Thief back in the early, early 80s.

Yup...I checked ebay and indeed the lightnin' chair postcard is of the famed Courthouse Theater drama where Melvin the Chicken thief takes a seat in the chair. It was a great show, and that fellow in the chair is Dan Embree, who some of you will remember as Mr. Potter in last Decembers "It's a Wonderful Life" which was performed at SDC. The woman next to him is Bonnie Arnold, formerly a Ma Hatfield, who was probably playing Ma in the Courthouse Theater production. Many of you younger folk will remember her as Miss Bonnie, the Schoolmarm at the school house. She has since retired and last I heard was in a nursing home with serious health complications. Other featured performers on that postcard are the famous Wayne Milnes as the Judge, and Marvin Themis as the lawyer, and Ray as the bailiff.

By the way, the Courthouse Theater is now known as the Riverfront Playhouse.

One character had a girlfriend named Elvira, right?  And when he sat in the chair, and it was activated, he would yell for his girl:  "Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira!"  I was much younger, 40 years ago, but this I remember.
